How to play Wind: A Breath of Heart on Mac

Game summary

Originally released for PC (Windows) under the same title as an adult visual novel, the game was then ported to consoles with removed adult contents, but also with additional CG events and story elements added to compensate for the lack of erotic scenes. The game follows Makoto Okano as he returns to his hometown after 10 years away. Before he left, he and Minamo Narukaze made a promise to each other to meet again. She told him she will keep on playing the harmonic and even though he may be too far away to see it, the wind will carry the melody, hopefully all the way to his place.
First released: Jan 2003

Play Wind: A Breath of Heart on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Wind: A Breath of Heart on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
